The Indian Penal Code (2 Volumes) by Ram Jethmalani and D.S. Chopra is about the history of the Indian Penal Code prevailing in British India that commences with the year 1833, the year that followed the Reform Bill, a period which was full of law reform in general and criminal law in particular. Indirectly the Indian Penal Code owed its origin to Bentham the most well-known jurist of the day on the subject of law reform. James Mill the favourite disciple of Bentham had written the history of British India under the influence of Bentham's ideas. The Code reflects the thinking of these two jurists. Thus the year 1833 was a landmark in the history of codification in India. The Charter Act of 1833 introduced a single legislature for the whole of British India.

Criminal Trial and Investigation 6th Edition
2016PC Banerjee
Criminal Trial and Investigation by P.C. Banerjee is an odyssey towards Justice and is meant for doing Justice not only to the victim but also to the society at large. Criminal Trial is a process for doing Public Justice by punishing the criminal. A judge does not preside over a Criminal Trial merely to see that no innocent man is punished but also presides to see that a guilty man does not escape. Ipso facto, both are public duties.

Code of Criminal Procedure,1973 replaced the Code of Criminal Procedure Code,1898. Some of the important changes incorporated in the Code are:
- the preliminary inquiry which precedes the trial by a Court of Session, otherwise known as committal proceedings, is being abolished as it does not serve any useful purpose and has been the cause of considerable delay in the trial of offences;
- provision is being made to enable adoption of the summons procedure for the trial of offences punishable with imprisonment up to two years instead of up to one year as at present; this would enable a larger number of cases being disposed of expeditiously;
